While this swirl of chocolate-peanut butter goodness sure does sound enticing, who are we kidding: Sometimes our DIY smoothies might as well be a double fro-yo order with milk chocolate malt balls for all the calories and added sugar they pack in. Smoothies can absolutely be a part of your strategy for healthy, lasting weight loss—if that’s what you’re after—but only when done right. (Otherwise, consider them slurpable desserts with a health halo around them.) Nutritionists agree that incorporating a nutrient-dense smoothie into your daily diet can help avoid pound creepage by keeping hunger levels in check and even promote weight loss thanks to their filling fiber and muscle-building protein. To find out their go-to slimming sippers, we tapped top R.D.s for their favorite recipes. Before we get into those, let's chat about weight loss for a minute. A perfect smoothie will not magically make you lose weight. In fact, no one thing is going to do that—at least not in a healthy or sustainable way. If you want to lose weight (and not everyone does), you have to also address a range of other factors that play important roles: sleep, stress, hormones and and other medical issues, to name a few biggies. Only by looking at weight loss from a holistic point of view can you really home in on a healthy goal, effect meaningful change, and see sustainable results. For some people, weight loss in and of itself might not be a healthy goal. If you have a history of disordered eating, you should consult a doctor before making any changes to your diet. Now, whether you're looking for help on your road to weight loss or just want some delectable smoothie inspiration, read on, and dust off that blender.

Learn More »The Hurricane is composed of two types of rum, lime juice, orange juice, passion fruit puree, grenadine and simple syrup. It's sweet, fruity and boozy, so it contains all the hallmarks of a good party drink.
The Hurricane is not a cocktail of subtlety. Its double serving of rum and suite of fruit juices and sweeteners have been packing a punch since the early 1940s, when it was invented at Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans. According to Shelly Waguespak, the president of the family-owned bar, the Hurricane was created due to a surplus of rum. In the 1940s, rum was easier to acquire than whiskey and other liquors, so Pat O’Brien’s began experimenting with the spirit, eventually landing on the Hurricane. The fun-loving bar continues to sling the cocktail in droves, selling more than half a million glasses every year at its New Orleans location. The Hurricane is composed of two types of rum, lime juice, orange juice, passion fruit puree, grenadine and simple syrup. It’s sweet, fruity and boozy, so it contains all the hallmarks of a good party drink. Ingredients can vary depending on where you source your Hurricane, and it’s common to see the cocktail made with bottled mixers. Fresh citrus, quality passion fruit and homemade grenadine play an important role in balancing the cocktail and taming its sweetness. Besides keeping your jigger busy, this high-octane fruit bomb is an excuse to sip from a Hurricane glass, the tall, curved and alarmingly wide vessel inspired by the hurricane lamp. Though in New Orleans’ French Quarter, where public alcohol consumption is legal, you’re more likely to see it served in a disposable plastic cup.
